Men and Gods pairs thirty-eight tales with quirky writer-illustrator Edward Gorey's distinctive drawings, resulting in a delightful collection that brings to life the trials and tribulations of Icarus, Hercules, Oedipus, and many others. A dramatic and educational introduction to Greek mythology for young readers, Men and Gods will also appeal to adults looking for an entertaining refresher course in the classics. For ages 9 and up.
